Turkey meatloaf is a healthier, leaner alternative to traditional meatloaf, and incorporating coconut oil adds a unique and delicious flavor while keeping the meat moist. This Coconut Oil Turkey Meatloaf recipe is simple to prepare and perfect for a nutritious family dinner.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onions to the skillet.
- Sauté until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Then remove from the heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, lightly beaten egg, half of the ketchup, black pepper, and the sautéed garlic and onions.
- Use your hands or a large spoon to mix the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can make the meatloaf tough.
- Lightly grease a loaf pan or baking sheet with the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Transfer the meatloaf mixture into the prepared pan and shape it into a loaf.
- Spread the remaining ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Once baked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Slice and serve warm.
Tips:
- For added moisture, consider adding finely grated vegetables like carrots or zucchini to the mixture.
- If you prefer a spicier meatloaf, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the mixture.
- Allow the meatloaf to rest for a few minutes after baking before slicing to help it set and make it easier to cut.
- For an even richer flavor, substitute half of the ketchup with barbecue sauce or your favorite tomato-based sauce.
- Using parchment paper in your loaf pan can make it easier to remove the meatloaf and reduce cleanup time.
This Coconut Oil Turkey Meatloaf is a delightful twist on a classic dish, offering a healthier and tasty option for those looking to reduce their red meat consumption. With its flavorful ingredients and simple preparation, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite. Enjoy your hearty and nutritious meal!
